Hi everyone,
I am currently working as SSE in an Expedia team in Gurgaon, India. I have received an offer from Microsoft Hyderabad for SSE role in E+D. I am slightly confused as which one to take.

Reasons for confusion:
1. Work quality is not that great at Microsoft. In Expedia most of the tech stack is open-source and on interesting technologies.
2. Both are good in WLB
3. Now that travel is back on track, there is a good scope to grow in Expedia since a lot of new work would be coming.
4. CTC offered in Microsoft is much greater.
5. There is a bit of negativity within Expedia. It is evident on blind as well.
6. I might have a chance to apply for L65 in Microsoft after 3-4 years.

Current CTC: ~45L

Offered CTC: ~73L (approx number).
1. Perf Bonus not included. (0-30)%
2. Base: 49L. JB (First Year): 6L. Stocks: $100K/4.

Current Yoe: 8
